    In this visceral solo performance, Paul Donald navigates stark wooden structures, unraveling the contradictions of masculinity through raw, physical struggle, restless movement, and fleeting gestures. "In Grain" offers no triumph, only an uneasy encounter with the limits of action and identity.
